I had a local company that specialises in RF components make up a short pigtail (I have sent you a PM with a photo) I also bought a lightening arrestor to put in the line. As for weatherproofing, I too am nervous about the water tightness of the top of the Engenius box where the aerial socket comes out... and the weatherproofness of the plug, pigtail and sockets. My plan is connect the pigtail to the box and (after testing!) glue around the connector with a plastic cement to bond the connector to the casing then seal the lot in with an adhesive (UV resistant) heat shrink.
